East Bay Classical Academy (EBCA) is a classical Christian school in the East Bay Area of the San Francisco Bay that is in its formative stages of development. See our School Profile and these FAQs for more details on the school, and don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

We are targeting a start date in the fall of 2028. A variety of factors go into determining which grades we can serve when we launch, but we are aiming for kindergarten through 3rd grade. After that, we plan to add a grade each year through middle school.

We are still determining an exact location for the school, but our goal is to secure a facility in the Oakland or Berkeley area.

Take a look at the section on our website, “What is Classical Christian Education?” for details on this type of schooling.

At EBCA, our teachers and administrators all must sign a statement of faith, and mature faith is a criterion in hiring decisions. The curriculum and daily/weekly rhythms are all rooted in and express a Christian worldview and values. The content of the faith commitments of the school are rooted in the Great Tradition of historic Christianity as expressed, at a minimum, in the Apostle’s and Nicene Creeds. Our goal is for committed Christians of a variety of denominations to be integrated into the community – to have real disagreements while serving God in unity amidst the many core convictions that we share.

There is no faith requirement for students who attend the school or their families. Families who are willing not to contradict the faith commitments of the school as expressed in its curriculum and culture are welcome at the school. We believe that this education is of incredible value for all children.

Please go to the Admissions page to express interest in having your child be a part of this school when it launches!
